Ecological surveys in Nice.

In Nice, between an urbanised coastline and the hinterland of the Alpes-Maritimes, development projects come up against marked ecological stakes: Natura 2000 sites, ecological corridors, protected Mediterranean species. An ecological survey conducted early conditions the impact assessment, the environmental authorisation and the planning permission. Our ecologists carry out four-season fauna and flora surveys, the VNEI, the Natura 2000 impact assessment and the protected-species derogation application (CNPN), with the definition and monitoring of ERC measures, for projects in Nice and across the metropolitan area.

In Nice, the wealth of natural habitats (Natura 2000 sites, ZNIEFF, protected species) makes ecological survey work a structuring prerequisite for development. Four-season surveys, VNEI, CNPN application and the mitigation hierarchy secure environmental authorisation and planning permission.
